Boca Raton regulates above-ground pools with the same safety requirements as in-ground pools. Pools over 24 inches deep require barriers and may require building permits.
Above-ground swimming pools in Boca Raton exceeding 24 inches in depth are subject to the same barrier and safety requirements as in-ground pools under Florida law. Building permits may be required depending on pool size and installation. Above-ground pool walls may count toward the barrier height if rigid and non-climbable. Ladder access must be removable or lockable when the pool is not in use. Setback requirements from property lines apply. HOA approval may also be needed.
Non-compliant above-ground pools may receive code enforcement notices. Pools without proper barriers must be corrected promptly.
